I haven't decided if I'm going to try these yet or save them for when Ben inevitably comes to visit!

Oh! My scovilles! They burn -- they burn! I ... We....

We are defeated at the last. The hot sauces were the key to entering the main chamber wherein resides a gloating Mangar. We are trapped like rats in a tiny room where even now the wizard sends his minions to storm the door.

But we are given wise counsel by Soriac, who advises us to try to get this journal to Pellis, in the hope that he will pass on the experiences written here to one capable of defeating Mangar. One final spell, using the life forces of Soriac, Corfid, and myself, will render Isli invisible for a time, enabling her to escape this place with the journal. Yet it is evil magic. Everything we have accomplished will be rent from the fabric of time and destroyed, and as the spell burns itself out Isli will be consumed.

I embrace my companions, and taste the salt of Isli's tears. Ghaklah has asked for my dagger -- he has no wish to be captured alive. As he prepares the spell, I can but reflect that no man could wish to die in better company.

Ghaklah begins. They come.

Are you kidding me? You've never heard of Lewis Caroll's famous nonsense poem Jabberwocky? Say it isn't so! Is the level of education in this country even from your youth is so bad that you lack even minimal grounding in the classics?

I first read about it back in 5th or 6th grade.

As long as it's not a song lyric...

Hey, if a band used that poem as lyrics you could potentially be banned. OOOooooo!

Only if it was before. I mean if I do Mary Had A little lamb I can't be expected to know someone would, later on, use it for something.

Also, it was a fake 'Vark post, it didn't end like this:

You're saying the poem is called "Jabberwock" and yet the line has a "Jabberwocky" in it? You're making all of this up. ALL OF IT.

Why are you making all of this up and trying to pin it on some poor guy named Louis Carol?

Well, Pinback can cancel his trip. I poured all of the hot sauce directly into my eyeball sockets in hopes of making this thread go away.

In case you missed it Jonsey, the guy that wrote the above gem made fun of your education.

Is each sauce based on a pepper native to a country or is it more of a set of spiced / flavored sauces as opposed to just heat?

We'll get to that. That's on my list. I just haven't made it to the end of that meandering sentence yet.

You also have it backwards, the poem is called "Jabberwocky" but in the poem it refers to the creature as a "jabberwock".

Now, "don't piss down my back and tell me it's raining." You're pretending to be stupid just to bait me.

It's longer than 10 lines so I can't quote it here.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jabberwocky
"Jabberwocky" is a nonsense verse poem written by Lewis Carroll in his 1871 novel Through the Looking-Glass, and What Alice Found There, a sequel to Alice's Adventures in Wonderland. The book tells of Alice's adventures within the back-to-front world of a looking glass.

Well, Sherlock Rolls, if you were so fucking up on things to deduce that, then you would have possibly surmised that when I asked you if that was a song lyrics to start this nonsense, you'd know that I was kidding around.

Now this is the time where you shake your fist toward the screen because you know I have defeated you once again!!
